COMMUNICATION IN THE NEW MULTICULTURAL SOCIETY. Understanding How Language Works To Improve Our Communication And Relationships With Others
This course is designed to give participants an understanding of what cross-cultural communication means, how every single individual such as children, teens, adults, or even older people are involved in the greater world of communication and what is defined as a conversational style.
Description
Communication is complex and culturally shaped, there’s no single right way to speak. This course helps teachers understand how language and communication styles vary across cultures, genders, and social backgrounds. Drawing from linguistics, sociolinguistics, and anthropology, participants explore how people use language in daily life and how these differences impact conversations. The training focuses on cross-cultural communication, helping teachers recognize diverse conversational styles and avoid misunderstandings in school settings. Through practical activities and reflection, participants will gain tools to better interpret meaning, context, and external factors influencing communication. The course also addresses links between language, gender, power, and discrimination, offering valuable insight into how we speak and connect with others in multicultural classrooms.
Learning objectives
- Understanding the importance of meaning in the communicative process and the role that context and so-called external variables play;
- Knowing the meaningful connection between gender, power, and discrimination and the various factors that influence our language;
- Exploring the importance of a cross-cultural approach to analyzing different conversational styles in order to better understand what is behind individuals’ conversations;
- Developing a greater awareness of communication and how conversational styles are influenced by gender as well as other cultural, social, and experiential factors;
- Developing practical experience and skills to apply effectively intercultural communication according to different needs of the targets and contexts of work.
